skinink:"Giordano works as a chef at the Gleneagles Country Club in Delray Beach, according to the arrest report."Or at least he did work as a chef. I wonder if the locker rooms there have had a rash of thefts recently."Giordano faces one felony count of burglary. "WTF? He didn't even get anything, he didn't even get into the vehicle. They're gonna throw a felony charge at him? I know they'll most likely let him plea it down to a misdemeanor, but still.

I never understood the bad rap Crocs got from everyone. I've had my pair for 8 years and they've held up really well. They are perfect for wearing around the dock or on the boat and they don't really look that stupid...at least not bermuda shorts with black socks pulled up to your knees stupid.

There's nothing wrong with crocs. Mine are "tan" colored. I chose them because they did not look like a gay pride parade float. And they work great for outdoor activity in the garden. I think the stop liking what I don't like image is needed here.

The only crime here seems to be the wearing of crocs. Being a lifelong beach boy, happy with my sketchers sandals and trusty old navy flip flops. Bonus: don't look like .99 cent clearance insane asylum footwear!

No lighter more comfortable footwear exists. And you can hose them off.

Although apparently no one noticed, I said Crocs are great for gardening - unfortunately the same cannot be said for flip-flops, because there is NO toe protection which is essential when kneeling on dirt or yard debris...

I have hated all flip-flops I ever wore, no matter how well-made they are. I find the thong between the toes uncomfortable, they slip, and all of them managed to cut the skin of my feet at one time or an other.

Actually, crocs are the only summer shoes I can stand to wear. But my God are they ugly ! They do make perfect beach shoes, though, especially for shingle beaches. I also use them in stead of slippers at home.

I recently bought a pair of Crocs and have worn them once - to walk around a shelter on the Appalachian Trail after 15 miles of hiking. Wearing them beat the fark out of walking barefoot in the mud after taking off the hiking boots. I wouldn't wear them in public, but as gardening shoes or in the aforementioned situation they serve quite well.

My father had horrible swelling in his feet and wore huge crocs to protect them around the house the last few years of his life.His feet/legs leaked fluid constantly and I had to change/wrap them 3 times a week. He wore the size 17 ones when he had the wraps on,due to the width(although they were long) also had a smaller pair and one of Dawgs in case his feet needed a smaller fit some days.
